Where is the best place to buy a clutch disc & alignment tool for 1992 legacy.

Thanks

 

aee

Not AutoZone. And ask who makes the part. If it's Fenco, pass. Fenco = Crap. I may have saved $100 by getting a cheap clutch kit, but now I have clutch chatter, and I'm 90% sure I have a bad throwout bearing.

 

If I had it to do over again, I'd mail-order an OE clutch kit, or maybe get a Beck-Arnley from Advance or NAPA or someplace.

How about Pep Boys they have a kit for about 200.00. I ordered a cluch disc from Courtesy Subaru Parts onlt to get an e-mail that the rpice quoted me was wrong because of different part numbers and the kicked it up another 20%.

I'll check out the other sources you mentioned.

Thanks

PepBoy's clutches are by Motormite. Much of Motormite's stuff is pretty cheap. (I work part time at AutoZone.) This deal is hard to beat: http://www.teaguesauto.com/parts1.htm

I've found that cheaping out on clutch parts will come back to haunt you. My last car got two new clutches over the course of 10k because I figured I could save some by buying a cheap AutoZone (Fenco) clutch. It developed serious chatter because the pressure plate warped. No, I didn't flog it. It was an Escort; there wasn't any point.

 

That said, I'd check out Boxer4Racing -- they carry OEM clutches and, last I heard, charged about 3-hunge for them. Also, depending on what motor you are attaching this to, you could look at RalliSpec and see about getting a stiffer clutch, assuming you like quicker, more logrithmic takeup. Do note, though, that chatter is really a fact of life with Subaru clutches, especially sportier ones. Incidentally, you can help that a bit with better engine mounts, tranny mount and pitching stopper.

I've been very happy with www.clutchmasters.com. I've used their clutches on two different cars.
